I, in fact, found the biggest cupcakes I have ever seen at The Sweet Life, a cute little candy store/bakery/restaurant at the base of the family-friendly Snowmass Village. Clearly an excellent business idea to have oodles of sugar and oodles of kids. Most of them screaming.
Check out these cupcakes!!!
And the requisite cupcake review. I picked out a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting and a white cupcake with raspberry frosting.
Chocolate/Chocolate
Price: $5, I think. EEK!
Packaging: Okay, they did package them "To go" But getting them out of the to-go container required the use of the the grill tools. Tricky!!!!
Frosting: The chocolate frosting was delicious!
Cake: The chocolate cake was a little dry but tasty!
Verdict: It was a fairly tasty cupcake!!!! The cake recipe could use a little refining but the frosting was good!
White Cake/Raspberry Frosting
Price: $5, I think. EEK!
Packaging: See Above
Frosting: NOT GOOD! Cupcakeries need to learn to put the main flavor in the cake and not in the frosting. Outside of vanilla, chocolate, lemon, and caramel frostings, most flavored frostings come off so fake. This one tasted like icky raspberry gum or something.
Cake: The white cake was also dry
Verdict: Not good! Sweet Life, seriously, hire me to bake cupcakes for you!!! I promise they would be awesome. SO much potential to sell some quality yet kid friendly cupcakes is being lost here!
